Jade Jones, Martin Stamper and Sarah Stevenson will represent Great Britain in taekwondo at the London Olympics, but the fourth place in the team remains open as the row over Aaron Cook's omission continues.

The British Olympic Association on Friday named Jones, Stamper and Stevenson, a Guardian Olympic diarist, in the squad, originally due to be named last week, but has asked GB Taekwondo to take another look at their decision to name Lutalo Muhammad ahead of Cook.

Cook is due to be ranked No1 in the world ahead of the Games, while Muhammad, 21, would need to drop down a weight class in order to take part.

Jones, 19, will compete in the -57kg class, the 25-year-old Stamper in the -68kg, and Stevenson, 29, in the -67kg.

Stevenson, the reigning world champion, won bronze at the Beijing Olympics and will be heading to her fourth Games.

"This will be my fourth Olympics and me and the sport have come a long way since my first Games," Stevenson said. "When I went to Sydney in 2000, I was only 17 and hardly anyone knew what taekwondo was. But that's all changed and I don't even think you can class it as a so-called minority sport anymore.

"I might have been the first person to go to an Olympics and win at the worlds, but more players are winning so much these days and that will kind of take the pressure off me in London.

"If I win gold that will top everything I have ever achieved. But that might not happen because that's the way sport is. Just because you are the best doesn't mean you are going to win, but of course I will try like mad to win gold."

Stamper is an eight-times British champion and took bronze at the world championships in 2011, when he also collected gold at the US, German and British opens. This will be his first Olympics.

"The support is going to be amazing," he said. "Even at the European championships in Manchester recently, the atmosphere was crazy. I looked at the crowd celebrating after winning my second-round fight and there must have been about a thousand people on their feet screaming.

"That was in a smaller arena with a lot less people than will be watching in London, so I can't imagine what the Olympics is going to be like."

Jones will also be making her Olympic debut, but will head into the competition as the reigning Youth Olympic champion, taking the title in Singapore in 2010.

"I'm buzzing," Jones said. "I had a big disappointment at the European championships when I didn't win a medal, but I think it was a blessing in disguise. I have things to work on now and make sure I am 100% right for the Olympics.

"I got hooked on the Olympics after watching Beijing in 2008, and I remember thinking I wanted to be there and part of it. Now I will be, and that's an incredible feeling for me."
